B.K.S.IYENGAR
LONG TRAINING
« I always tell people, live happily and die majestically. »
The level 1 certification (formerly base 2) is only granted for a teacher to start teaching. There are several successive levels in the teacher evaluations of the Iyengar method. He has usually made several stays at the Pune Institute(having once been taking a few classes in Pune does not necessarily make you a qualified teacher).
